Kelly Wire Die Corporation

Plastic fabrication has its quiet specialists.

Kelly Wire Die Corporation sits at 463 E 10th St #6, a narrow storefront in the stretch between Avenue A and Avenue B where small manufacturers still hold ground. The neighborhood’s mix of old tenements and light-industrial lofts makes it a practical spot for precision work—no frills, just the right zoning and a steady flow of local clients who need custom dies, molds, or short-run production. They handle everything from prototype tooling to small-batch plastic components, often for designers and engineers who can’t find what they need off the shelf.

Most of the work happens behind the roll-up door, where tolerances are tight and lead times are negotiable. If you’re sourcing a specific shape or material—say, a tricky polypropylene part or a clear acrylic fixture—they’ll quote based on drawings or samples. No minimum order, but no hand-holding either; this is a place for people who know what they want and can describe it in millimeters. East Village fabrication has a reputation for being no-nonsense, and Kelly Wire Die fits the mold.
